Your thoughts on Acadian Timber's recent earnings? I have owned it for quite a while and although I like the healthy dividend I noticed the payout ratio in the quarterly report was 115%. Should I be worried about that?
Q: Hi, Looking at the three and five year charts of Well Health Technologies, I don't see much increase in the stock, or it has done very little in that time period, but you guys keep praising it. When do u think this stock might take off, or at least make it worthwhile investment, thanks?
Q: Do you continue to like TVK as a long term compounder? It's had a decent pull back to $32-33 off the highs. Would this be a good entry point? Recently announced a new credit facility but other than that, not much news still earnings back in Aug. What growth drivers do you see going forward? Looking to possibly sell GDI to buy TVK. Thanks!
Q: AEM: notice down a fair bit. TPE approx. 9 & FPE approx. 24? I was thinking of buying as hedge against disaster. Owned Placer Dome way back when. Odd the FPE going up - due to increased costs?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: This name is in both the 5i Income and BE portfolios at a 6% weighting yet yields under 1%, where no other stock in the Income portfolio comes close to. I understand it is the best performer in that portfolio and am wondering if it is there to 'juice up' the return on an otherwise mediocre performance. Could you confirm this rationale or explain the thinking, please.
Q: Hi 5i,
I’m sitting on a large cash position and want to take advantage of today’s opportunity to buy good Canadian businesses with great dividend yields. What are your top ideas today for dividend yield, and for dividend growth in Canada?
Q: Savaria has had a precipitous fall and only seems to be accelerating to the downside. I am still in the black having held it a long time but am questioning if something has fundamentally changed with the company, flagging it as a "sell"? It just dropped significantly after announcing the upcoming date for its quarterly results and I can't count the number of times I have seen this happen where when the results come out it appears to confirm that there was "leak" of inside information, we will see. (On that note, I figure if 5i was a listed company, it would be classed as having a "wide moat", because it seems like wherever you look there is a dearth of people, organizations and institutions with integrity these days).
Q: When looking at the results since inception for both Growth and Balanced Portfolios I find that ultimately the BPORT generates a lot more return than the Growth .
BPORT generated 263% since inception against the S&P 229% during the same period. The GROWTH is not even close to that of the S&P and the growth part of my portfolio suffer from that . Do you have a comprehensive explanation?
I love the service but I can't wait to hear from you on this topic.
Q: The stock price has declined by about 1/3 since the summer. Is the reason for this more about the short-term volatility that simply comes with a smaller company in the materials sector or is there any issue with this specific company? I just wanted to confirm that you still view this company as a good long-term hold and also ask if you think this is a good time to add to it? Thanks.
Q: Can you please provide a brief analysis of risk for this one, maybe especially with respect to their balance sheet and whether you know anything about any debt obligations that may incur higher rates at refinancing, valuation now vs historical P/E, potential headwinds etc.? I rode it up and right back down, just a little concerned about where the floor is, it is a bit of a smaller cap than I usually commit to for the full position I have. Thank you.
